Great day out on the water for hubbys Birthday this week! So blessed to live in such a stunning country! We felt like we had the world to ourselves.
Always great to get out into nature 🥰 we were able to paddle across to some islands and heard lots of birds including a wood pecker 😊

My amazing niece Emmerson Garrett competed this year for the New Zealand Womens Open Touch team in the World Cup held in England!
Ever since she was little she has wanted to represent her country and wow she did herself and the family proud! The women played their hearts out and came away with silver medals 🥈
She was able to have two sponsers on her gear, @caci_nz were on her game vests 🥰(i should say singlets 🤦🏼♀️😂) and I was able to have my business logo on her training shirt 🥰
When you dream big and put the work in they can come true!
Will need to work out those suprise impacts when she returns to NZ 🥰- handy having an Auntie that does ConTact C.A.R.E!

I love New Zealand!
What a cool feeling!!

Chatting to a client yesterday and they said they have tried to explain ConTact C.A.R.E to friends and family when they recommend it.
My client said she always feels weightless when she is having ConTact C.A.R.E but fully supported at the same time. What a beautiful feeling to have and lovely way to explain her experience!
ConTact C.A.R.E releases pressure in bone and gives it somewhere to go.

Why have ConTact C.A.R.E and what is it? This video is a simple way I have explained to clients about ConTact C.A.R.E and the flinchlock release method.
Anyone can have ConTact C.A.R.E as it is simple and safe as we always work away from pain, you are in control of your comfort at all times and is your responsibility to tell the Practitioner if anywhere hurts during the session- always moving to your comfort! No point sucking up pain as it wont help you recover to your normal!
Some of the reasons people have tried ConTact C.A.R.E with me in the last few weeks
*bad back
*fell over
*shin splints
*range of movement decreased
*post concussion symptoms
*sore knees
*dizzy, nausea
*headaches
*keep hitting the same place on the body
*feel out of line
*slept funny
Yes when you fall over the saw place will be where you landed eg: the hip felt place in the video; yes that will hurt from the impact too but the reason it is now playing up and not going away will be from the flinchlocked imobile bone that needs to be released.
Hope my basic explanation helps some people find their ConTact C.A.R.E practitioner and feel great again!

My simplified explanation without the fluff that I give to my clients about what happens in a Reiki session and why have one.
People come for many different reasons and I don’t have to be told those reasons for the Reiki to do the work.
We don’t always realise some things have stuck to us through life and might be weighing us down a bit; a Reiki session can help release anything not allowing you to feel your best so then you can go about your day a bit lighter!
Common reasons people come for a Reiki session
*Not feeling themselves
*Had an emotional upset
*Have had a physical trauma (might want to have a ConTact C.A.R.E session for this! as well)
*Unsettled at work, home or in a relationship
*Feeling low
*Just because it makes them feel good
Hope this helps a little for those unsure.

Love a Sunday that has a new beach walk (ended up with a swim in the undies) it was too inviting to not get in and swim!
Lunch out so no cooking today! @grangerstaphouse had a yummy fish and Chips with a glass of wine
Good book and a peppermint magnum
Then a family film this evening 🥰
Full of joy and ready for my awesome clients this week.

Loving my family time now that I work from home and have that work life balance.
I loved being a teacher and gave it nearly 20 years but it was time to do ConTact C.A.R.E and Reiki full time! It was the right decision at the right time, scary but amazing once I decided that’s what was going to happen.
Very thankful to all my beautiful clients that have made this transition full of trust and fantastic moments of change for them and me!

One of my gorgeous niece’s turned 18 on Friday!
I love baking for friends and family so I made these cupcakes for her and the family to all share when we celebrated her together.
Lean into what you love doing and be filled with joy!

A gorgeous start to the morning having an invigorating 🥶 swim - ‘was alright once you were in’ 😂, was made even better because it is the weekend so I got to take the dip with my awesome husband 🥰
I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weekend with what makes you feel great🥰😘

So very grateful for mornings where I get to make breakfast and packed lunch my boys and then go and enjoy the local beach for a quick swim before I start my day with clients ✨
Evening slots have all gone this week but still have some daytime appointments for those that want to feel good over the long Easter weekend 🐣
Being grateful can bring more to ne grateful for!

All set for some ConTact C.A.R.E and Reiki clients today
It is actually really nice listening to the rain on the roof of the clinic 🌧

Went and tried a new modality last night and was advised to have a salt bath as part of the protocol afterwards. Not a fan of baths so went this morning for natures salt bath instead!
Not one for the cold! Normally a scorcher day swimmer but that was beautiful! I got straight in and it was warm!
Loved my morning dip!
Working until 8pm tonight so always nice to do something with my later start.
Have a beautiful day!

A busy day today so the Uber time gave me some lovely down time!
A very thoughtful client to plan in the rest time for me 💕🙏🏼✨
I had time to close my eyes and just focus on breathing and then I enjoyed really looking out of the window at things I have not seen before!
Another ConTact C.A.R.E and Reiki 2hr session this evening but first I now need to swap to Mum role and make dinner!

What a magical day! I know it isn’t directly ConTact C.A.R.E or Reiki related but it is amazing to witness things when people are at the top or their game and really care about the details and all the little things!
I’m not a die hard LOTR or Hobbit fan but the tour was magical!
Since Dec 2023 there are now two Hobbit holes/ houses that you can go in. You get to go in one of them! It was my highlight!
Buzzing weekend away with the family! Pumped to see my clients next week now 💥🦴🙏🏼✨

We are all tired now!
Very grateful that my big brother came over today to sort out the section next to my clinc space.
The whole whānau have done bits to help me since December.
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me make this happen 🥰

Started the day with a self reiki in bed 🙏🏼✨ got my sons ready for school and then headed to the beach to do a 15min sketch; not a great one but not something I would normally draw, it was more about enjoying the moment to see what I could do and focus on for those 15mins rather than scrolling on my phone.
Then treated myself to a beautiful massage 💆🏼♀️ With the voucher I was given for my birthday and it was gorgeous as always! Thank You @driftawaymassagetherapy
Now I’m ready for my afternoon clients of ConTact C.A.R.E and Reiki! 💥🦴🙏🏼✨
Love what we have right on our doorstep!
Loving the cicadas out in force this year and the beautiful bird song 🥰

When you have left the security of a full time profession and you have two clients contact you in the morning to reschedule their appointments to another day there are different ways you can choose to react!
Yep I admit I panicked first; have been known to be an overthinker! then I took the opportunity of the alone time to get out for a walk and see it as a blessing.
Told myself things will be all good! They weren’t cancellations just things happen, stuff comes up; then a new client booked in whilst I was walking.
Everything falls into place, allow the good, allow change and take some time outdoors!
I ended up walking alongside a veteran for half of my walk, we chatted about lots and I shared my passion of ConTact CARE he was genuinely interested and I believe we brightened eachothers morning 🥰
How do you calm yourself? Do more of it!
